ACADA is the professional standard for pet grooming.
A groomer earns an ACADA credential by studying the work and being assessed on it. The standard they are measured against is published in full, and the result is a record any client can check.
- A credential earned by assessment. Lessons, practical assessment and advisor review, kept under one number that stays on the record.
- One standard, published in full. The same measure for a salon, a mobile unit and a groomer working alone.
- A public record a client can check. Name, number and standing, verified from the ACADA record rather than asserted on a website.
